Transcript
- 0:00You are.
- 0:00Your ideal now.
- 0:03That is something that my mentor, my coach Joseph Rodriguez is talking about right now and has encouraged in myself as well.
- 0:13And others.
- 0:14That that is the truth.
- 0:17And today we're going to talk about encouragement in Reality Transurfing in Transurfing on Tuesday, even though this may be Wednesday, that this comes out.
- 0:29Joseph Rodriguez is my mentor and coach.
- 0:33I'm a part of his mastermind as well.
- 0:35I'll have a link to that in the show notes and description below.
- 0:39But.
- 0:42He has been teaching us lately that we are our ideal.
- 0:46Now he's actually encouraged that in myself and I have found things.
- 0:53Synchronistically happening that way.
- 0:56And we're going to talk about that today.
- 1:00You're listening to the Kathie's Coaching Podcast I'm your host, Kathie Owen.
- 1:07I have been a certified fitness trainer and certified life coach since 2002.
- 1:12On this channel, we talk about.
- 1:15Healthy habits, having a growth mindset.
- 1:18Fitness and even some Reality Transurfing and today we're discussing a quote from Reality Transurfing that I have built upon about encouragement.
- 1:31Here's the quote.
- 1:32When you encourage a person, no matter what you urge them in a favorable direction without making them lose the flow or undermining their inner most hopes.
- 1:43When you encourage someone nobody's rights are impinged upon and nobody's pride is knocked.
- 1:50Your interests become one and their desires run parallel to your own.
- 1:55That is a quote from Reality Transurfing a book written by Russian quantum physicist, Vadim Zealand.
- 2:02I talk about Reality Transurfing on this channel often, and I'll have a link in the show notes and description below.
- 2:08Where you can learn more about Reality Transurfing.
- 2:13As always, I find motivation and inspiration from quotes from the book in Reality Transurfing.
- 2:20Encouragement is a powerful tool that can change someone's life in an excellent way.
- 2:26It is a simple act that can make.
- 2:29A significant impact.
- 2:31And it is not only limited to just words of praise and compliments.
- 2:37Encouragement is the act of urging someone in a favorable direction.
- 2:41Without making them lose their flow or undermine their inner most hopes.
- 2:47This quote from Reality Transurfing highlights, the importance of encouragement and how it can benefit both the encourager and the person being encouraged.
- 2:58I also liked this quote from the book, the Science of Likeability by Patrick King.
- 3:04"Pay attention, especially to compliments, you can pay and recognizing something that someone has put effort into.
- 3:12This shows an extra layer of thought and care.
- 3:17This quote right here describes the right mindset for today.
- 3:21That extra layer of thought and care can be a very good reason to add encouragement and add great things to your life and someone else's at the same time.
- 3:32So just a couple of days ago, my neighbor had an accident.
- 3:36She fell on her patio.
- 3:38I had just finished talking to her.
- 3:40And when all of a sudden I heard this loud crash.
- 3:43And then I started hearing her scream and I had this memory of her saying when her husband was gone for a while, if you hear me screaming over here, please come help me.
- 3:53And I'm like, okay, doc.
- 3:55I doubt, I'm going to hear you screaming, but this was just a coincidence.
- 4:00Anyway, she fell down and I see her laying in her patio, on her back with her head against the step.
- 4:08So she fell all the way down and she was screaming for her husband who was inside.
- 4:13And she goes, get him, get my husband.
- 4:16I think I broke my neck and.
- 4:19I have to remind you here.
- 4:20I am trained in this kind of incident.
- 4:23I have been trained to deal with people falling down.
- 4:26Having cardiac arrest, things like that as a personal trainer, we're trained in CPR.
- 4:32And.
- 4:34And accidents like that.
- 4:35And I've been trained for many years because you have to stay up on your certifications.
- 4:39Anyways, having said that what happened was she fell?
- 4:43And she said that she thought she broke her neck.
- 4:46And I got her husband to come out there and he.
- 4:50He said, are you okay?
- 4:51Are you okay?
- 4:52He tried to pick her up.
- 4:53I said, no, do not move her.
- 4:54You don't move somebody who falls and think they broke their neck.
- 4:58I said, go call nine one one.
- 4:59He brought his phone out there and he started calling 9 1 1.
- 5:03And.
- 5:05I was keeping her calm.
- 5:06I was using these little things that we're talking about today.
- 5:10I was using encouragement to keep her calm.
- 5:13I said, oh, you're, you're going to be okay.
- 5:15Just relax.
- 5:16Just stay calm, stay calm.
- 5:18And her husband calls 9 1 1 and nine.
- 5:21One one is asking questions that they're supposed to ask by CA.
- 5:25Is she bleeding?
- 5:26Can she breathe?
- 5:28Um, things like that.
- 5:29So she was able to answer questions.
- 5:32He answered questions about her height, her weight, and she's like, no, that's not right.
- 5:36And she was apologizing to me that she fell.
- 5:39They asked if she could feel her fingers and her legs.
- 5:42And she made this look like, oh, I didn't think about that.
- 5:46And she started wiggling her fingers.
- 5:48So I knew that she was probably okay.
- 5:50But I was thinking in my mind what Joseph teaches me.
- 5:54That you are your ideal now.
- 5:56So I tried to keep calm myself.
- 5:58And to keep her calm.
- 6:00I was saying.
- 6:01She corrected him when he told the, the EMS or the 9 1, 1 operator, her weight, she corrected him and he was like, I said, see, you you're even joking about this.
- 6:13You're laughing.
- 6:14You're ha you're okay.
- 6:15You're fine.
- 6:17And I was keeping her calm.
- 6:20As she was being wheeled away to the ambulance, which she needed to go to the hospital and get everything checked.
- 6:26I was saying prayers for her and my prayers were she, you are your ideal.
- 6:31Now you will be okay.
- 6:33Everything's going to be fine.
- 6:34The doctors will be able to take care of you.
- 6:36Those were my prayers that everything was going to be fine.
- 6:41And bottom line.
- 6:42It was you.
- 6:43You are your ideal now.
- 6:47Just a few hours later, she comes back from the hospital and she's texting me the next morning.
- 6:53I'm fine.
- 6:53I just have a few bruises.
- 6:55They, I didn't hurt my vertebraes.
- 6:57She has, um, some vertebraes that are messed up in her back.
- 7:02And she was concerned about that as well.
- 7:04And of course, naturally, so, and everything was fine.
- 7:10So.
- 7:12She was her ideal now.
- 7:14My encouragement helped her.
- 7:15She also said, thank you for helping me stay calm.
- 7:19Your words of encouragement helped me.
- 7:21All of that came back to me, picturing my ideal now and her ideal now, and that all has to do with encouragement, which is what we're talking about today.
- 7:33So notice how Reality Transurfing says that that encouragement is good for you.
- 7:37And it's good for me.
- 7:39The act of encouragement involves supporting and motivating someone to achieve their goals.
- 7:44Or overcome their challenges.
- 7:46It is not just about telling someone they are doing a good job or they're going to be okay.
- 7:51But also about providing constructive feedback and helping them to see their F their potential encouragement.
- 8:00It helps to build confidence, increase motivation, and promote positive attitudes towards achieving goals.
- 8:09One of the most significant benefits of encouragement is that it does not impinge on anyone's rights.
- 8:15Our knocks anyone's pride.
- 8:18Encouragement is about lifting someone up, not tearing them down.
- 8:22It is about promoting positive growth and development rather than belittling someone's efforts or accomplishments.
- 8:30When, when encourage someone, we are creating a positive atmosphere where they feel supported, empowered, and motivated to succeed.
- 8:39And I would say this is one of the very good things about encouragement is a positive attitude mindset.
- 8:48Encouragement also creates a comradery and unity.
- 8:52When we encourage someone, we are expressing our interest in their success and their desires become parallel to their, to our own.
- 9:01We become invested in their goals and dreams, and we are willing to offer our support to help them achieve those goals.
- 9:08This creates a sense of shared purpose and helps to build strong relationships based on mutual respect and trust.
- 9:16Encouragement is a great starting point in changing relationships.
- 9:22I'm going to repeat that.
- 9:23Cause that's important.
- 9:24Encouragement is a great starting point and changing relationships.
- 9:30So as a personal trainer, I work with clients all the time and encourage them.
- 9:34It is extremely important.
- 9:37But encouragement is also kind of a sensitive.
- 9:40Topic, because you can encourage someone in the wrong way.
- 9:43I've done this for many years and of course I've done it in the wrong way too.
- 9:47Sometimes.
- 9:48So when I'm trying to teach somebody an exercise, I'm like, here's the proper form.
- 9:53I show them how to do it.
- 9:55I show them what muscle they're working.
- 9:56I showed them where to feel it.
- 9:58And then if they start doing it, improperly, I encourage them in a different way.
- 10:02I say, oh, you're not doing that wrong.
- 10:05And actually it's right, because you're starting to work other muscles that are involved here.
- 10:10I want you to feel it here.
- 10:11And if you still feel it here, then do it that way because it's not wrong.
- 10:15But this is the way I want you to do it.
- 10:17I want your elbows here.
- 10:19Those kinds of pointers.
- 10:22Another thing that happens is I want people to stay motivated to exercise.
- 10:28I love how fitness changes lives.
- 10:30And the other day I've been running circuits at my workplace as the corporate wellness director.
- 10:37I've been running circuit training.
- 10:38With several of the people that come in on their lunch hour.
- 10:42And one of the girls came in.
- 10:43I said, how are you doing.
- 10:45And this one girl has been through a lot of stuff, traumatic family trauma, some trauma at work.
- 10:52And, um, I'm talking like trauma.
- 10:54That was just an accident, but it's going to cause you anxiety and stress in the future.
- 10:59And.
- 11:01She came in and she said, I'm not taking my anxiety medication anymore.
- 11:05I don't need it.
- 11:07While that's a great thing.
- 11:08I don't recommend just stopping your anxiety medication because you feel great.
- 11:13But my point in telling you this is the encouragement she's had along the way, the little steps she's taken has led her to where she feels a whole lot better, and the anxiety is gone.
- 11:26That's what I mean about how fitness changes lives.
- 11:31Encouragement is not actually limited to one area of life.
- 11:37It can be applied in many different contexts.
- 11:40Like the one I told you in the accident where the girl fell down and the one I just told you about the girl that.
- 11:47Works out with me and does fitness.
- 11:50But encouragement can include several different contexts.
- 11:55It can include personal relationships, education, and the workplace.Encouragement can help foster a positive and productive work environment, leading to increase job satisfaction and improve performance.
- 12:08It can become one of your new strategies to transform your business.
- 12:12So as a corporate wellness director, I use encouragement all the.
- 12:17Time to help in the workplace to help somebody if they're exercising right, or they're feeling good, or if I just happened to encourage them in a certain way.
- 12:27I always try to find where they're working in the business as well, what they do so I can learn more about them and encourage them along the way.
- 12:36In whatever they happen to be dealing with because I pictured them as their ideal.
- 12:42Now, when somebody comes to me with a goal, I go, what's your goal?
- 12:45What's your mindset?
- 12:46What's your, what's your aspiration?
- 12:49Where do you want to be?
- 12:50And then I start picturing them from there.
- 12:53No, I learned that from Joseph Rodriguez.
- 12:55So that's how he mentors us as well.
- 12:58And.
- 13:00As I've been doing this, I've noticed.
- 13:03Huge quantum leaps in other people's lives, just because of what I'm picturing for them as well.
- 13:13Now let's discuss this concept, the power of yet.
- 13:16And I love this concept and it can be a great way to encourage others.
- 13:21The phrase, the power of yet refers to the belief that although you may not have achieved or mastered your skill yet with effort and perseverance, which are two things you can control controlling the controllables.
- 13:35You can achieve it in the future.
- 13:37This mindset can be very powerful because it focuses on growth improvement and the potential for success.
- 13:44Simply get out of your comfort zone and try new things and get new skills and create real life adventures.
- 13:52The power of yet is particularly relevant in the context of learning and education.
- 13:58When faced with a challenging subject or task, it can be easy to feel discouraged and believe that you will not be able to master it.
- 14:05However, by adopting the power of a yet mindset, you can shift your focus from the current limitations to the potential for future growth and success.
- 14:17This could be particular helpful in students who are struggling with a particular subject or skill.
- 14:23As it can help them maintain the motivation and presser, perseverance, which are two things you can control.
- 14:31The power of yet can be one of the positive ways to help a student succeed.
- 14:37The power of yet can also be useful in other areas of life, such as career development.
- 14:43Relationships and personal growth, including your fitness.
- 14:48By recognizing that you may not have yet achieved your goals or reached your full potential yet.
- 14:53But that you have the potential to do so with effort and perseverance, you can maintain a positive growth oriented mindset.
- 15:02I would say, this is one of the new ways to reach those big goals.
- 15:09Ultimately the power of yet is about embracing the journey of growth and development rather than focusing solely on the end goal.
- 15:19Remember that journey and the destination are one.
- 15:24And it is a mindset that can help you overcome challenges and maintain motivation and achieve your full potential.
- 15:33I also liked the way.
- 15:35Carol Dweck discusses, encouragement, and mindset.
- 15:39In fact, I think she played a big role in the concept of growth mindset.
- 15:46Carol Dweck is a renowned psychologist and researcher who has extensively studied the impact of mindset on learning and achievement.
- 15:54She has written extensively on the power of encouragement and how impacts one's mindset.
- 16:00Her work expresses the important thing of positive mindsets and the idea of a growth mindset.
- 16:09According to Dweck there are two types of mindset, a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, and a fixed mindset.
- 16:17Individuals believe that their abilities and intelligence are fixed and cannot be changed.
- 16:22This can lead to a fear of failure and a lack of motivation to take on new challenges and contrast in a growth mindset.
- 16:30Individuals believe that their abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort and hard work.
- 16:36This leads to a desire to take on new challenges and a willingness to learn from mistakes and failures.
- 16:43Great accomplishments are made during hard times.
- 16:47Remember that great accomplishments are made during hard times and then ask yourself later if that really was a hard thing.
- 16:59Dweck argues that encouragement can be a powerful tool in promoting growth mindset.
- 17:05When individuals are encouraged before their effort and hard work, rather than their innate abilities.
- 17:11Or even their intelligence, they are more likely to adopt a growth mindset.
- 17:17The encouragement that focuses on the process.
- 17:20Rather than the outcome can help individuals to develop a love of learning.
- 17:25A desire to take on the challenges and a belief that they can improve their abilities.
- 17:31To me, that is an actual encouragement card process that will win every single time.
- 17:40Dweck also stresses the importance of giving constructive feedback that promotes growth and development, rather than just offering praise or criticism feedback should focus on how individuals can improve and develop their skills.
- 17:55This helps to reinforce the belief that abilities can be developed through effort and hard work.
- 18:03I have to mention a story.
- 18:04I heard on a podcast episode today, and it was about Lewis house, how he started in Toastmasters when he was in his early twenties.
- 18:12And the very first speech he went to, he committed to a year of going to Toastmasters once a week and doing speeches and I can vouch I've done the same thing as well.
- 18:25But what he did was he w his very first speech was just memorizing word for word and looking down and looking down the whole time during his speech, he didn't even make eye contact with this audience.
- 18:39Toastmasters is known for giving really positive, constructive criticism.
- 18:43So they started with, okay, take a few times and look up at your audience.
- 18:48They didn't tell him how he was supposed to be great already.
- 18:53So what he did was he.
- 18:56Next speech.
- 18:56He came in and he started making eye contact a few times.
- 19:00And eventually he learned bit by bit slowly by slowly.
- 19:05With constructive criticism to step from behind the pod.
- 19:10The podium and.
- 19:13Make eye contact with his crowd and ended up with an actual standing ovation at the end of his speech and edit a Toastmasters environment.
- 19:21A standing ovation has means you have reached the top.
- 19:27All right.
- 19:27Here are 10 tips on encouragement, encouraging others can be a powerful way to uplift and motivate those around you and obviously motivate yourself as well.
- 19:37So here's her 10 tips on how to encourage others.
- 19:40Listen, actively is number one.
- 19:43One of the most powerful ways to encourage someone is to actively listen to them, show genuine interest in what they are saying, ask questions and acknowledge their feelings.
- 19:54Active listening is an important skill in many aspects of life, including personal relationships, professional settings and conflict resolution.
- 20:04By actively listening, you can improve your Communication skills, build stronger relationships and foster, a greater sense of understanding and empathy.
- 20:13In his book, make yourself unforgettable.
- 20:16Dale Carnegie says this about active listening.
- 20:20"In the end, the secret to effective listening is nothing more than the basic respect for another person.
- 20:28You're listening, not judging to the extent that you are nonjudgmental.
- 20:32People will be willing to talk candidly with you.
- 20:35And if they won't talk candidly, they might as well not talk at all.
- 20:40And if what you hear triggers an emotional response in you accept full responsibility for your actions.
- 20:47Remaining composed.
- 20:49Even when you feel your buttons are being pushed is a powerful expression of real class." I love this because he talks about responsibility, which is something I talk about.
- 21:00And when you take responsibility for your reactivity, you're not going to respond in the way that the person is dis is talking.
- 21:08You're going to respond with an emotional intelligence of a high IQ, as opposed to somebody who would just get irate.
- 21:16And then guess what the person's going to shut down and not talk to you.
- 21:20So you might as well sit back, relax.
- 21:23Take a deep breath and realize it's not about you.
- 21:26It's about actively listening to the person instead of becoming reactive.
- 21:32I'll have a link in the show notes and description below to the episode I did on responsibility.
- 21:39Number two show empathy.
- 21:41When someone is going through a difficult time, showing empathy can help them feel understood and supported.
- 21:47Try to put yourself in their shoes and imagine how they are feeling.
- 21:51Showing empathy involves being present, understanding and accepting of the person's emotions.
- 21:58By demonstrating empathy, you can build stronger relationships, foster, greater understanding, and create a more compassionate and supportive environment.
- 22:08Number three offer sincere praise.
- 22:11Offer sincere praise and compliments when someone does something well, Recognize their achievements and let them know that their efforts are appreciated.
- 22:20One of the great ways to acknowledge someone's success is to provide positive feedback.
- 22:25Encouraging words are always a great introduction to creating positive habits in young children.
- 22:32And when you can catch them doing something, you appreciate try to acknowledge it quickly and positively.
- 22:40So back when I was in college, I used to analyze drawings for children and in small children, I can analyze the way they draw and what that means.
- 22:49But one thing I learned in child psychology was to always encourage with descriptive words, what you see happening.
- 22:58If you see them drawing a picture, oh my goodness.
- 23:00I see your drawing.
- 23:01You're using that green color so well, they remember those encouraging words.
- 23:08Um, the other day I was with my grandson and he was putting chairs into the truck and helping his dad most four year olds would not be doing that.
- 23:18They'd be running around with their friends or chasing butterflies or something else besides helping their dad do something.
- 23:25And constructive like that.
- 23:28And I've noticed he always does that.
- 23:30So when he was doing that, it was like, Look at him, he's doing such a great job and I encouraged him.
- 23:37By using positive words and offering sincere praise for what he was doing, what that does in turn is it encourages them to do more.
- 23:47And I learned that in the book, positive discipline that I read many, many, many, many years ago.
- 23:54Number four offer constructive feedback.
- 23:57When someone is struggling offer constructive feedback to help them improve.
- 24:01Be specific, but also offer solutions and support.
- 24:05I remember that the right way to offer constructive feedback is only when someone is in a place to receive it.
- 24:12Oftentimes our feedback is not welcome because we offer it at the wrong, wrong time.
- 24:18I like to think of it as a feedback sandwich.
- 24:21So you have your bread.
- 24:23You offer a positive feedback, AKA the first slice of bread.
- 24:28Then you add the meat, which is the constructive feedback in the middle of the sandwich.
- 24:34And then our final piece of bread is the.
- 24:38Top it off with some more positive feedback.
- 24:43That is called a criticism sandwich or a constructive.
- 24:49Criticism sandwich.
- 24:52Number five, provide support, offer support, and practical ways such as helping with tasks or offering to be a listening ear.
- 25:00Let them know you are there for them.
- 25:03Number six, be genuine.
- 25:04Authenticity is key when encouraging others be sincere in your words and actions and avoid empty compliments or false praise.
- 25:16Number seven, be patient sometimes change a progress, takes time, encouraging others to keep going.
- 25:23Even when the road ahead seems long and difficult.
- 25:28Number eight offer perspective.
- 25:30When someone is feeling stuck or overwhelmed, offer a different perspective, help them see the bigger picture and the potential for positive outcomes, but be careful though, sometimes your perspective is unwanted and the other person is not ready for it.
- 25:46Take toxic positivity girl, for an example.
- 25:49And I have several episodes I've done on toxic positivity, but what happened during the race situation of.
- 25:562020 was this one little gal argued with me, um, about anger and being anger over the race situation.
- 26:05And I offered a perspective of who I was listening to, which was Abraham Hicks.
- 26:11And I have to laugh because Abraham Hicks is actually a spiritual entity that is channeled by Esther Hicks.
- 26:18And she came back and she argued with me and said, I'm not listening to those white people you're talking about.
- 26:25And, um, you are blinded by the light.
- 26:27She actually forced me to say, you're right.
- 26:30I'm blinded by the light high step away from your perspective on things.
- 26:35And this is what I mean when I say be careful when you offer your perspective, because sometimes oftentimes people are not going to listen to it.
- 26:46What happened was.
- 26:48This gal was stuck in the lower levels of consciousness, which is anger and pride.
- 26:54She's very angry.
- 26:56And she's very prideful on so many different topics that she can't see the higher levels of consciousness, which come from courage and love and light.
- 27:08So yeah, I'd rather be blinded by the light and the higher levels of consciousness.
- 27:13Then to be.
- 27:15In the lower levels where you can't even see a different perspective, that could feel so much better to be in.
- 27:24Uh, number nine, believe in the other person when you're offering encouragement.
- 27:29Let others know that you believe in their abilities and potential encourage them to pursue their dreams and goals, even if they seem challenging.
- 27:38And number 10, celebrate success.
- 27:40When someone achieves a goal or overcomes a challenge, celebrate their success with them, acknowledge their hard work and congratulate them on their achievement.
- 27:49So at the end of every workout, I offer people their high fives.
- 27:52I celebrate with them.
- 27:54Celebrating the small wins.
- 27:56But when we get to the bigger wins, like for example, when the girl told me she didn't need her anxiety medication, I went overboard on my encouragement, but I also still encouraged her to stay on that medication until her doctor told her she was not.
- 28:13She didn't need it anymore.
- 28:15Which perhaps is the case because that's her ideal now.
- 28:20So in conclusion, encouragement is a powerful tool that can change lives.
- 28:24You picture somebody in their ideal now, and it does change everything.
- 28:30It is about urging someone in a favorable direction without undermining that inner most hopes are knocking their pride.
